Sarah (Feeling Fictional)
They wanted to create a fantastical creature that was as real to life as possible and studied both birds and horses to help them work out how Buckbeak would move. You'll find stills from the movie, pictures of the life sized models they created, quotes from the books and information on exactly how they brought Buckbeak to life including 3 different full sized models and a lot of CGI.
Make sure you follow the included instructions and you'll have the model made in no time. I love these sets, they're brilliant for any Harry Potter fans who will enjoy the information included in the book and love having a finished model to display on their bookshelves.
It's not a long read but it was interesting to see how much effort went into creating just one character who doesn't even have a major role in the story really. I did find it a bit more fiddly popping the pieces out of the wooden board they come on, partly because there were some very thin and easy to break parts, but as long as you're careful it should be fine.
If you're going to decorate the model it would probably be easier to paint it before you put the pieces together and you'll find some painting tips at the back of the book if you want to make your model look like the original Buckbeak. The finished model stands about 12cm tall and is about 20cm wide across the wing span. The hardback book it comes with is only about 30 pages long but it includes lots of fun facts about Hippogriffs in general and Buckbeak in particular. This is the second of the Harry Potter Incredibuilds model sets that I've built and Buckbeak was much easier to put together than the Dobby model (not that either were particularly difficult but this one had less pieces!
I was happy to leave mine undecorated though and it's still a really nice looking model. I plan to collect them all eventually! ).
